Taylor chats over Zoom with two members of the Grammy award winning bluegrass band Steep Canyon Rangers, who are playing a show in Kalispell this Friday, July 7 at 8 p.m. The Steep Canyon Rangers have been together for more than 20 years and are frequent collaborators of comedian Steve Martin, who can also play a mean banjo. The band is excited to get back to the Rocky Mountains, a place they say has always welcomed them with open arms. Singer/guitarist Aaron Burdett and bass player/singer Barrett Smith give us a look into their new album 'Morning Shift' which they will be playing songs from at Friday night's show. For more information about their show at the Waccholz College Center, visit www.wachholzcollegecenter.org and look under "schedule of events."
